Neville x Reader (edited)

(4th year)

*PLEASE READ*

I changed some things, small things, but sorta effective.

(you can expect this for all of the re-updated chapters.)

This chapter is basically starting fresh :)

*Your POV*

You stand in the middle of the girl's lavatory on the first floor. As you're looking at your reflection in the old, broken mirror, Moaning Myrtle sways above you with her ghostly figure filling the air. You're hiding from the "oh-so-bratty" Draco Malfoy, he just called you a mud-blood after pouring pumpkin juice all over your robes as you passed in the halls. Plus, your date to the Yule ball just cancelled, they thought you weren't 'elegant' enough to dance with.

"Don't be sad Y/N. You'll still have a good time at the ball; maybe someone else will ask you. It's highly likely since you are very pretty."

You gaze over at Myrtle with hopeful eyes, and thank her, she then goes back to her toilet, and thoughts of being dead.

After what seems to be forever, you decide that you should get back to your house common room. You're about to step out of the doors but you hear footsteps echo on the tile floor outside. You quickly duck back inside in hopes to save yourself from any more embarrassment.

The footsteps get louder as they echo on the tile floor. You hear them getting closer and closer. Not knowing what to do, you cram yourself inside one of the stalls.

You ball yourself up on your tippy toes on top of the toilet seat in case this mysterious person where to look under the stalls for whatever reason.

You stay in the stall for who knows how long? and you're beginning to lose your balance, but you wait until you think the person left. You step off of the toilet and slowly start getting your balance back. You open the stall door and in front of you is Neville Longbottom.

"Neville? What are you doing here? This is the girl's lavatory." You say taken aback from suddenly seeing a person in the bathroom when you thought you were all alone.

"I know this is the girl's room. I just wanted to see if you were alright. I saw what happened, and I saw you come in here." Neville says in the sweetest and gentlest tone you have ever heard. His deep brown eyes look softly into yours as his gaze locks with yours.

"I just haven't had the best day today." You say burying you head in your hands.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Neville asks as he places a soft hand on your shoulder. You look up and shake your head, not wanting to trouble him with your problems. Neville gives you a pleading look, you can't say no. You let out a low sigh as you explain what happened to you. You finish and wait for him to respond. He doesn't say a word as he looks into your eyes.

"You shouldn't listen to Draco, he calls everyone that. Even if they're in Slytherin. He's truly disgusting." Neville smiles at you and you can't help but smile back.

"And as for your date to the Yule ball, (s)he's blind and doesn't know true beauty if it bit them on the nose." Neville says bopping your nose lightly as you blush a deep pink. He stands up and offers you a hand to lift you up. You gladly except as he pulls you to your feet. You brush yourself off and look back to Neville.

"Thank you Neville, for listening." You say nervously twirling your hair. Neville smiles.

"You know, I'm kinda glad that I don't have to go to the Yule ball with that jerk anymore." You smile as an idea begins to bubble in your mind.

"Oh, are you still gonna to go?" Neville asks you, you nod and take a small step closer to him.

"I was hoping to go with a guy more like you." You say shyly looking down at your black shoes. A red color starts to form on both yours and his cheeks.

"I know this sounds a little cheesy, but I was hoping to go to the ball with a girl like you." He says blushing deeper. You look up at him and smile.

"It wasn't that cheesy." you laugh, "I would love to go to the ball with you."

'Did we just agree to go to the yule ball together?' You ask yourself as your heart bursts inside your chest as the fangirl inside you takes over.

Neville smiles awkwardly before turning around and tripping over his feet. You bite your lip to keep yourself from laughing at his clumsy cute self.

"Meet me at the archway near the Great Hall. I'll be waiting." Neville blushes after picking himself up off the ground.

You nod, understanding that you're meeting at the arch. 'I'm going to the Yule Ball with Neville!' You smile to yourself before walking out of the bathroom. You see Neville smiling to himself as he goes down the hallway. Neville's smiles are always contagious, and you find yourself smiling as you walk back to your house's common room.

Author's Note: (please read) 

Hey guys! I'm editing all of the already published works I have in this book. I'm adding /slash/ changing things in some of the parts so you might want to go ahead and re-read them! Only if you want though. I haven't done all of them but I'm working on it. The ones that I have edited have the (edited) on the chapter name. Thank you guys for being so patient with me... The HP fanfic is coming soon hopefully in early to mid July when I'm done with the first chapter. I really want you guys to like it so I've been doing my research on the characters and everything. I know you guys really want me to update more often and I'm starting to get lots and lots of reads, votes, and comments. The reads, and votes make me so nervous to update because I want you guys to like reading my stuff. I know you guys say that 'I'm amazing and that I should write more' and I love that... I really do. I always say "better quality over quantity." but some people keep pushing me to update. Not just here but in real life too. Sorry this is a long author's note and sorry that updates are slow... Hope you guys understand.
